Chapter 1004
She had no idea that her daughter‘s date would be... Richard Lloyd.
The Richard who had just called off the engagement with Annie?!
It took a few seconds before Daphne regained her composure. As she looked at her daughter‘s guilty and slightly
flustered eyes, she let out a sigh while clearly agitated.
Angela rushed over to her mother and held her arm. “Go ahead and lash out on me all you want! Just promise me
that you won‘t get worked up and hurt yourself, okay?”
To be fair, Daphne was not upset with her daughter, but things were just too absurd to take in at the moment.
Richard, who just broke up with Annie, is dating my daughter? When did this happen? Why did Angela keep this
information hidden from us?
She stared at Angela and questioned, “Tell me all about it. When did it all start?”
Not wanting to keep her mother in the dark for much longer, Angela revealed her active pursuit of Richard back in
the base and explained that she had no idea he was Annie‘s fiance at that time.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTo her surprise, Daphne had not expected her daughter to take the initiative in pursuing a man. According to the
timeline, it was factually correct that her daughter was unaware of Annie being Richard‘s ex–fiancé since Angela
was shielded and had all communications cut off at the time. Therefore, it was natural of her to develop feelings for
him in the base.
“What should I say to your uncle and aunt? Your aunt is still upset about the canceled engagement! You have no
idea how much she adores Richard, her ideal son–in–law. I can‘t believe he‘ll be my son–in–law instead!” Daphne
expressed her concern.
LCI.
“Pfft!” Angela burst into laughter. In exchange, Daphne shot her a glare and sneered, “Oh, you‘re laughing, huh?
How about you suggest ways for the elders to get out of this awkward situation?”
At this point, Daphne suddenly remembered that she had purposefully brought up Richard‘s work and family issues
at the previous dinner to persuade her sister–in–law to open up. Now, it was a total slap in the face.
“I apologize, Mom. That was not my intention,” Angela expressed solemnly.
“Is Richard genuinely fond of you?” Daphne was curious.
Angela‘s lovely face turned bright red. “He is, I guess?” Her shyness had overshadowed her confidence in this
case.
She had no idea how much Richard liked her; all she knew was that he did not agree to the breakup.
“Alright! We‘ll explain it to your uncle and aunt once you‘ve told Annie about it and received her approval.” On the
contrary, Daphne was joyful after the shocking revelation moments ago. Afterall, it was a blessing to marry into the
Lloyd Family!
Not only did Richard possess dependability and strength, he was also an exceptional appearance
and physique. More importantly, Angela would always have his full support in the future.
Although Angela never dared to confront Annie and come clean about her situation, she had reached a point where
there was no other choice.
“Okay. I‘ll invite Annie out for dinner tonight to talk about it; perhaps even seek her forgiveness if I could.” She
nodded, agreeing with her mother‘s words.
Satisfied, Daphne bobbed her head before looking around the office and inquired, “Didn‘t you just bring a bouquet
up here? What did you do with it?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOut of embarrassment, Angela stood up and reached behind the curtains for the bouquet of flowers. On the other
hand, Daphne could not help but sigh inwardly; she was completely satisfied with her daughter‘s boyfriend this
time.
It was, however, a minor annoyance as the situation had to be handled correctly to avoid tension with Annie‘s
family.
Exiting the room, Daphne made a phone call to her husband, Gilbert.

As soon as Gilbert picked up the phone, he was greeted with a question.
“Gilbert, Angela now has a boyfriend. Can you guess who?”
Stumped, he could only toss a few gusses in his head before he asked, “Who is it?! There‘s no way I could have
guessed. Now, tell me.”
“It‘s Richard,” Daphne answered right away.
Gilbert, who was on the other end of the phone, was equally astounded. “Why is Angela in a relationship with
Richard? What exactly is going on? Did they just start dating?”
“No. They met at the base and fell in love since then. I would have been kept in the dark had I not seen my
daughter on a date with him back at the office today! She was afraid of being chastised, so she never told us about
it.”
